Storyline

Lisa is 16. She is leaving for New York tommorow at 11 a.m. She saved some money but she would like to get some more - just in case. As she tries to make money by shooting a video for girls-in-school-uniforms-demanding men she loses everything except her ticket. She meets two highschool girls, Raku and Jonko, professional call-girls, and spends the last night with them trying to make up the money that was stolen from her.Written by

a haunting, and sometimes depressing, look at the world of high school call girls in tokyo, japan. the movie follows the lives of 3 high schoolers as they go from john to john, all the while trying to remind themselves that they are doing this for a reason. a terrific movie, filled with unforgettable performances and characters.
